Hello ,optimal health required 4 basics.
1. Good nutritional food
2. Adequate rest
3. Peace of mind or no heavy pressure.
4. Physical exercise. If all of the above are in time, you no need to worry about your health. I can understand your pimple problems, pls dont touch your face many times in a day, and dont pinch your pimples. Wash your face with gentle soap or cream, use soft towel. Concentrate on your diet. Add omega-3 into your diet. See our body has two types of fats, omega-6 and omega-3. And o6: 03 ratio would be 5: 1. But our diet only have omega 6 from our excess amount of oil. So that ratio is increasing like 100: 2 or 200: 1. Only source of omega-3 is deep cold water fish or some other plant sources. Highest form of omega-3 will be from food supplements. Let me know if I can help you with that. Benefits of omega-3
1. Your skin will get a good color, any dark marks on your face will be cured in a 2 months time.
2. Brain functioning will improve.
3. It will balance your fat level in your body according to omega6
4. Thinner your blood levels.
5. Your eyesight will improve
6. A lot of benefits using omega-3, but unfortunately we don't get much in our diet. Non-veg is good, if its a boiled one or fried on fire. Drink more water in a day, 4 to 5 liters of water will keep you active. Slowly you will get a good skin on your face. Have a healthy life, tc. Let me know if I can suggest you the best. You can also recommend me in lybrate.

Hi.
Let me tell you about hairfall. In layman's language, hairfall can be divided into 2 types - temporary hairfall and permanent (which is called as 'Hairloss' rather). In temporary hairfall, hair grows back again from the same hair root, but in case of permanent hairloss, may be because of formation of DHT (Di- Hydro -Testosterone) around hair root it gets choked up, subsequently affects the blood supply to the hair and thus hair root is lost forever. (There are different pattern and types of hairloss, because of different reasons like Alopecia Areata, Telogen Effluvium, Scarring Alopecia, Traction Alopecia, etc.)
Causes of hairloss:
Many factors are responsible formation of this DHT or male/ female pattern baldness - hereditary, post-illness/ ailment, post-delivery, post- chemotherapy, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, insufficient sleep, sudden loss of weight, stress/ tensions/ excessive anger, use of bore water, any other underlying diseases, etc.
Need to rule out any causative factor or underlying medical condition.
Management:
Take diet rich in protein like non-veg., eggs (it's loaded with essential nutrients such as proteins, Vitamin B12, iron, zinc and Omega 6 fatty acids in large amounts and biotin) , different pulses & legumes, sprouts, nuts (sp. walnuts and almonds); iron-rich food like green vegetables, carrots, prunes, green peas; also oats, shrimp, take flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, green tea, soyabean, fruits, salads, etc.
Take low-fat dairy products (they also contain whey and casein, two high-quality protein sources)
Take proper 6-9hrs of sound sleep.
Give up the habit of smoking and excessive alcohol intake.
Avoid junk food and any kind of beverages (tea, coffee, aerated drinks, cold drinks, etc.)
Avoid canned/ tinned food or food that contains preservatives (eat fresh ones).
Avoid use of hard water to wash the head rather use boiled water for head wash.
Avoid use of harsh hair colour, hair treatment like rebonding, straightening, perming, etc.
Avoid vigorous exercises or any supplements provided by the gym!
Use Rose wood/ any wooden hair comb to brush your hair.
Regular exercising is also one of the important point, but should be done under some good, qualified yoga teacher or instructor for proper guidance; it also releases the stress/ tension in the mind and the body and keeps you FIT and YOUNG!!
Medication:
Take homoeopathic Rx - Schwabe's Wiesbaden 200 & Alfalfa Tonic twice a day for 1 month and revert.
Also, use Schwabe's Arnica shampoo and Hair Growth oil regularly as per the condition of your scalp (minimum 3 times a week). After shampooing, use Bakson's Arnica Hair conditioner as well after every head wash.
Apart from this, take Follihair tablets (multivitamin) - 1 tab. daily once for 1 month.
(N.B.: With the help of homoeopathic medicines, we can only prevent further progress of the hairloss, means it will get arrests in the present condition in case of progressive baldness. But, in case there are areas of baldness which has gone smooth and shiny, you will have to choose an option of Hair Transplant along with theses medications!).
Investigations advised:
Get your blood tested for (empty stomach) - CBC, S. Iron, S. Folic acid, S. Ferritin, S. Calcium, S. Vitamin D3, S. Vitamin B12. If there is any family history of Thyroid dysfunction, get Thyroid function test done as well.

First shave clean head / so take the chance, apply white vinegar daily 3 times / all your head fungi will go . Vinegar with no water. For immunity \drink fruit juice no masturbation milk cream daily. Make urself internal healthy.

For pimples it's important to wash your face twice daily to remove impurities, dead skin cells, and extra oil from your skin's surface, avoid touching your face or propping your cheek or chin on your hands. Not only can you spread bacteria, you can also irritate the already inflamed facial skin. Never pick or pop pimples with your fingers, as it can lead to infection and scarring. A dietary therapy for pimples can also help a lot. I am a registered dietitian and a doctor who will help you in your skin problems reply back for private consultation.

It is normal to lose about 30-80 strands of hair in a day. The common reasons behind hair fall are lack of essential nutrients in the body, improper and unhealthy dietary habits, hormonal imbalance, certain medications, dandruff, alopecia and other scalp disorders, stress and tension etc. Natural oils such as coconut, olive, jojoba, almond etc. Can be used to massage the scalp for countering hair fall. Gently massage the scalp prior to head bath twice a week. Also check hemoglobin for anaemia and thyroid status with serum tsh. Have more proteins and trace minerals like copper, zinc, selenium in diet. Start taking a hair nutrition supplement. Keep stress away with regular exercise, yoga, meditation. Get the underlying scalp condition like dandruff treated.

There are reason for dry skin so first find out cause for the same in between time use
berberis - cream. Drink plenty of water every day, cleanse your skin regularly, don' t scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often, keep your skin moist at all times, protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, appropriate sunscreen etc. Regular exercise helps your skin pores breathe better, sufficient sleep and rest is important for your skin.
